[kde] Questions after 3.5 Upgrade on Fedora

I upgraded my KDE from the distributed Fedora Core 4 version to 3.5 and
I am having some confusion about setting settings, menus, etc. I'm not
sure if this is related to Fedora sharing menu items between KDE and
Gnome, but I can't find answers to the following questions:

1. When I try to launch the menu editor from the context menu on the "K"
icon, nothing happens - I can start the application from the terminal
command line.
2. The User's Guide discusses adding "Special Buttons" to the Kicker by
using the context menu, but my context menu doesn't have "Special
Buttons" as an option.
3. When I started up (and when I regenerated the menus) the KDE
configuration tools (like menu editor, configuration manager, help
center, etc) were not on the menus and had to be added manually. I'm
not sure how many kde components are actually missing. Is there a way to
reset the menus to an initial "out of the box" state? Even when I
manually recycled the menus, they only went back to pre-3.5-upgrade
level not back to a completely new (and fully populated) state.
4. I can't find in the kicker configuration screens any way to disable
the large (1" high) tooltips that come up for the kicker icons. I can
disable the desktop tooltips but not the kicker ones.

I'm beginning to to suspect that something went wrong during the upgrade
- it that is so, is there a procedure to eliminate any pre-3.5
definitions and start clean?

Thanks

Dave McDonald
